Otaku Dictionary: Pixiv.net

Noun; website
1) In short, the Japanese DeviantART.
It should be noted that a) Everything is in Japanese, b) To view some things in HQ you need an account, but they're free, and c) Some artists do not allow reprinting of their works, ex. posting them on tumblr, etc. and legal actions have actually taken place because of this law. So respect their wishes and look for notifications of that sort.On the artist's profile page under the self-introduction he or she will state if they do not allow reprinting of his or her works. You will probably have to use Google translate, but it will say if they do not want their works reprinted. Just because an art was on Tumblr does not mean that the artist allows reprinting of their works.
Also note, its .net not .jp
